ggTrader
An algorithmic trading bot and a research framework for professional strategy development.
Objective
Create a reproducible and scalable trading research and execution framework for professional traders.
Project Overview
ggTrader is a professional algorithmic trading framework designed for high-performance research and execution. It moves away from monolithic scripts toward a modular, scalable architecture that supports complex strategy validation and multi-exchange connectivity.
Roadmap & Development Phases
The framework progresses through the following research and execution milestones:
Foundation & Core Engine
Built the modular trading engine and reproducible simulation logic using VectorBT patterns.
Data Ingestion & Exchange Adapters
Kraken REST/WebSocket exchange adapters and high-speed partitioned Parquet data stores.
Optimization & Walk-Forward Testing
Implemented Walk-Forward Optimization (WFO) and multi-dimensional parameter sensitivity analysis.
Interactive Analytics & Audit Trails
Deep Jupyter Notebook visual tooling and ResultsManager timestamped run archives.
Execution & Risk Architecture
Dynamic position sizing algorithms, drawdown guards, and order-book impact simulations.
Live Paper Validation
Real-time shadow execution against live order books with execution slippage tracking.
Production Cloud Deployment
Containerized multi-strategy execution nodes with automated failover and telemetry pings.
Core Features
- Modular Architecture: Clean separation between core engine logic, portfolio management, signal indicators, and exchange adapters (Kraken).
- Reproducible Research: A dedicated
ResultsManagerand timestamped results folders ensure that every backtest and optimization run is tracked and auditable. - Walk-Forward Optimization (WFO): Finds stable parameters over sliding time windows to reduce overfitting.
- Sensitivity Analysis: Tests how strategy performance reacts to parameter drift, ensuring robustness in changing markets.
- Professional Analytics: Deep integration with Jupyter Notebooks for interactive visualization and performance deep-dives.
Technical Architecture
- Core: Python, NumPy, Pandas
- Backtesting: High-performance simulation logic (integrated with VectorBT patterns)
- Data: Parquet local storage, Kraken API adapters
- Optimization: Custom WFO and sensitivity analysis pipelines
